Woman fined for letting 12-year-old drive

Oct 2, 3:34 PM (ET)

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) - A Montana woman accused of letting her 12-year-old daughter drive three siblings to day care has been fined nearly $1,000. Angela Parenteau entered a no contest plea to one count of criminal endangerment Thursday in Municipal Court in Great Falls. Three other criminal endangerment charges were dropped under a plea agreement.

Prosecutors say in March, Parenteau allowed her daughter drive three younger siblings from their house in Vaughn to a day care about 15 miles away in Great Falls. Police say Parenteau claimed she was too sick to drive and on medication.

The state said it agreed to the plea agreement because the 12-year-old girl did not want to testify against her mother.

I’m betting the ‘on medication’ was what caused the poor decision in the first place..

Could be worse.. there was a woman who (thankfuly) passed out drunk behind the wheel of her car when taking her kids to daycare.

1: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If it does what it says, you should have no problem with this.
2: What proof will you accept that you are wrong? You ask us to change our mind, but we cannot change yours?
3: If a conspiracy theory stopped at one claim, they might be believable. However, in the search for ‘truth’, conspiracies will expand their claims to encompass many other claims.

What part of ‘meow’ don’t you understand?

Well…. I know that if one lives on a farm they can drive farm vehicles on that farm as young as twelve or 13.  But even we here in the sticks don’t allow them THAT young on the highway! gulp  the 16 year olds are bad enough! wink

Sounds like a fantasy Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes would have.

Plenty of 12-year-olds out there probably drive as well as or better than many of the 32-year-olds out there. . .

Reminded me of this, although it’s apparently not the same woman…
